Blaze Pizza
5604 Balboa Avenue San Diego, CA 92111
Visited this particular location twice now. Once just recently and once late last year.
What’s great about this place: You get to watch them make your pizza. A wide variety of tasty, fresh ingredients. Friendly, efficient employee’s and they offer five different dough options.
I’ve tried the barbecue chicken signature pizza with original dough and the build your own pizza with the high rise dough. I enjoyed both but preferred the high rise crust and the mix of cheeses in the barbecue chicken pizza. Also my daughters cheese bread was yummy dipped in the sauce.
Overall I’d give this place four stars. What the crust lacks in flavor and crunch, the ingredients make up for.

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs. If you'd like to send me a message or comment, please do so at; maggie@hungryones.com We just celebrated our 14th Anniversary this October 2016!! So exciting!! 2015 A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting. Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.

There was a time when these types of pizza places were everywhere! I like Pieology, which is across the street next to 85C. But I haven’t been to Blaze or Pieology since before COVID. Time to do a re-visit!
Maggie
I’ll have to try out Pieology next time I’m close by. Thanks Sandy!

Also forgotten during Covid-19; thanks for the reminder. We have ordered a salad with a pizza and that cheese bread looks perfect to try!
Maggie
I’m sure you’d like the cheese bread Cathy!
